Minimum Pro BG image clickable

[sullystone]

Hi, I am trying to make a background image in Minimum Pro clickable to an outbound link. I have tried a number of techniques including putting a clear linkable overlay on the image and nothing is sticking. At this point I assume I need to be overriding a BG function. I was hoping not to have to change the site structure, is this possible? Thank You, Matt

Alternatively, you can create new full width widget at top area and display image in it with hyperlink. Then remove background image functionality. http://my.studiopress.com/tutorials/register-widget-area/

I already put in place a background widget so I could place the photo in BG area and make clickable but it won't override the original BG even when removed.

I understand, the current image you have added via background section in WP Dashboard.

Backup before making changes.

1. Add new widget area by using following code in functions.php file

//* Homepage photo  Widget
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id'                => 'homepage-photo',
    'name'          => __( 'Homepage photo', 'custom' ),
    'description'   => __( 'This is Homepage photo section', 'custom' ),
) );
 
add_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'custom_homepage_photo', 1 ); 
function custom_homepage_photo() {
      echo '<div class="homepage-photo">';
    echo '<div class="wrap">';
    dynamic_sidebar( 'homepage-photo' );
    echo '</div>';
    echo '</div><!-- end .homepage-photo -->';
    }

2. Go to widgets section, add new text widget to "homepage photo" area.

3. Add code like:

<a href="#"><img src="http://www.google.com" /></a>

Replace # with target url
Replace google.com with full image url.
